A: I think you’re short-selling “the Marvel Method” rather a lot (you’re also vastly over-simplifying it. The first Iron Man followed the character beats of Spider-Man pretty closely, but none of the other Marvel movies really did, save in the most general sense that 2/3 of all “hero’s journey” sorts of tales do).…

Do note, I’m not a Marvel fanboy. I love Superman’s first two movies, Nolan’s trilogy, The Flash and Arrow, I grew up with Batman: The Animated Series, I love the Arkham games. So let’s get that away.

The film’s massive success,

BvS is what happens when someone who obviously dislikes the concept of superheroes is given free reign to put to film his fanfic based on two popular DC comics storylines while simultaneously being required to forge a DC movie universe.

This Superman is not a noble, selfless alien who cannot help but do good in the nick of time. He’s a selfish narcissist whose major failings are all caused by his inability to see himself in relation to the world.

The problem with BvS isn’t that its too serious. The problem is that it features characters that lack the core characteristics that define these characters AS Batman and Superman.

This article is presenting a straw man argument. The main reasons that batman V Superman have nothing to do with tone, or failing to be Marvel.

I will say, as somebody who quite enjoyed Man of Steel, I was quite drawn to the idea of a conflicted Superman in a world where his power is feared more than adored. It’s a good idea. The problem is that Snyder isn’t good enough to put it into practice.

I must say, the “Marvel Method” contains 2 seasons of Daredevil and 1 season of Jessica Jones.
